Vedclass · Answer

(D) Asexual reproduction in algae commonly occurs by the production of different types of spores,the most common being zoospores. These are flagellated (motile) and on germination give rise to new plants. Fragmentation is also a common method of vegetative reproduction in algae,where the thallus breaks into fragments,each of which grows into a new individual. Fusion of gametes is a characteristic of sexual reproduction,not asexual reproduction. Therefore,both fragmentation and spore formation are modes of asexual/vegetative reproduction in algae.
